Cassian’s POV

The landing was smooth. Too smooth.

No turbulence. No distraction. Nothing to keep me from focusing on the fact she hadn’t said a single word to me for the entire flight.

When the seatbelt sign clicked off, Lucas stood to retrieve the bags, and I made my move.

“Reina.”

Her name cut through the white noise of my men unbuckling and stretching, but she didn’t look at me. Not right away.

When she finally did, her expression was neutral…so neutral it felt like a slap.

“Stay after the others get off.”

It wasn’t a request.

She hesitated, eyes narrowing slightly, but gave a small nod.

Lucas took his time getting off with the crew. The second the door shut and we were alone, I rolled toward her.

“Get up.”

She didn’t move. “I’m fine here.”

I gripped the armrest of her seat and leaned in until she had no choice but to meet my gaze. “That wasn’t a suggestion.”

Her jaw flexed, but she stood, stepping into the narrow aisle. I wheeled past her to the small private lounge at the back of

  • The Devil's Nurse   The Obstacles On My Path

    Cassian’s POVMy hand tightened on Leon’s throat, fingers digging into the skin just below his jaw. His pulse hammered against my palm, fast and frantic, like a trapped bird trying to escape. The hospital room smelled of bleach, the beeps from the monitor behind him syncing with my rage. Lucas stood by the door, arms crossed, watching like he knew this was about to explode.“Why the hell are you acting surprised?” I snarled, leaning in so close I could see the sweat beading on his forehead. “Did that stab wound fuck up your brain or something?”“No, boss…” Leon gasped, his voice a ragged whisper as I squeezed harder. His face turned red, veins bulging in his neck. “It’s because…I don’t know where you got that information from.”My eyes flicked to Lucas…his jaw tight, nodding once in confirmation…then back to Leon. I released him with a shove. He collapsed back onto the bed, wheezing like a punctured balloon, clutching his bandaged stomach. Pathetic. How the fuck did I pick this wea

  • The Devil's Nurse   A Visit to The Hospital

    Cassian’s POVI didn’t want to turn around. Maybe that’s Candy’s new tactic to trap me further…to make me think something serious happened and prevent me from leaving. But when I heard her scream and hurried footsteps, I couldn’t stop it. I turned around so fast.Abby was on the floor. Unconscious, blood running from her nose like she was hit in the head.For fuck’s sake…what is going on this time?!I moved in a blink. Candy was already there, cradling her like she’d planned this whole scene, shouting…cursing me…saying it was my fault, that I hadn’t listened, that the doctors warned her Abby had a weak heart and now look what I’d done. She pounded my chest with one hand.I seized the wrist and pushed it away, cold as a blade.“Don’t ever try that again,” I growled, prying Abby from her with one hard pull. The little girl was limp in my hands, her hands dangling by the side as I propped her onto my chest.“What are you doing?” Candy screamed, panic laced with fake outrage.“It’s high

  • The Devil's Nurse   Pick A Side

    Cassian’s POV“What do you mean Leon is not with my fiancée anymore?” I asked again, voice tight with rage.Before Lucas could speak, I heard a tiny sound behind me.“Daddy?”It was barely a whisper. Small. Broken. I didn’t turn. I didn’t look. I couldn’t afford to right now…not with my temper hanging by a thread.“Let’s go, Abby,” Candy said sharply behind me. “Your father clearly doesn’t want you anymore. He wants another family.”My jaw clenched so hard something cracked in my neck. Rage shot through my veins like a fucking bullet, but I didn’t move. I stared at the door. Willed them to leave.A small sob broke the air.“Another family? Daddy doesn’t love me anymore?” Abigail’s voice cracked, and I felt something sharp pierce through my ribs. That one sentence dug at my heart, twisting it. She sounded lost. Hurt.But I stayed still.No. I can’t break now. I can’t fall apart over this. Reina. I need to get her back first. I need to clean this mess I dragged her into. Then…only the

  • The Devil's Nurse   My Hell Without Her

    Cassian’s POVI was dead.Not in the drop-in-a-coffin-buried kind of way. No. This was worse. This was the kind of death that eats you alive piece by piece, quiet, slow, and merciless. The kind that crawls under your ribs and camps in your chest until your sanity cracks.After I cancelled the plan to bring Reina home, the days turned into weeks. And what filled those weeks? Abigail, my daughter. My blood. My unexpected second chance at fatherhood. She laughed like her mother but had my eyes. Sweet kid. Smart. Too innocent for the shit surrounding her.But even when she was smiling at me, even when she was falling asleep on my chest… my head was somewhere else. My fucking soul was somewhere else.With Reina.I tried to bury thoughts of her. Tried to go cold…shut down everything until it was time to move. But every night she clawed her way back into my head. I dreamt of her voice. Her messy hair. The way she stared at me like I mattered…like I was her monster.And then I remembered t

  • The Devil's Nurse   Hold On, Leon

    Rena’s POVLeon’s eyes fluttered open, weak but still sharp enough to cut through the chaos. He winced, blood staining his teeth as he tried to speak. “Why… why the hell is Andre here?”“Leon,” I cried, clutching his hand. “That’s what you’re worried about right now?”“Yes,” he muttered hoarsely, his voice barely above a rasp. “It’s important.”I let out a shaky breath, half laughing, half sobbing. “You’re bleeding out, and that’s what matters to you?”“Yeah,” he croaked, smirking faintly even as pain twisted his face. “That son of a bastard got me real good… from behind. I’m gonna enjoy chopping him in pieces when I…”“Shut up!” I snapped, pressing the scarf harder against his wound. “Just stop talking, Leon! Please! Don’t make it worse!”He tried to laugh but coughed instead…harsh, wet, and awful. Blood spattered his lips, and I froze in horror.God please. I don’t want him to die.“Leon, please!” I begged, tears streaming down my cheeks. “You’re going to be okay, just hold on. They

  • The Devil's Nurse   A Victim of My Reality

    Reina’s POVMy fingers clenched around Leon’s shirt before I could even think. My heart pounded hard in my chest as I locked eyes with that same figure again…him. The smirk, the stance, the way he leaned casually against the café window like he was just waiting for me.“Are you okay?” Leon’s voice cut through the noise, his brows furrowing in concern.“Over there,” I muttered, barely breathing. “By the small café.”He turned his head to look, and panic shot through me.“Wait…don’t let him know that you’re…”But Leon didn’t wait. Didn’t hide. Didn’t even try to be discreet.“Motherfucker,” he muttered under his breath, and before I could stop him, he lunged forward.“Leon!” I called after him, but he was already moving fast, cutting through the stream of travelers like a predator locked on his prey.People turned to stare, a few whispering as I stood there frozen, caught between shock and anger. I forced a nervous smile at a passing couple who gave me a weird look, then looked away qui
